Lisa Hou was a 22-year-old medical student when she and a classmate doing a research project on helicopter pilots took a ride in a New Jersey Army National Guard Bell UH-1 Iroquois—better known as a Huey—at Ewing, New Jersey. Almost 30 years later, she is the Adjutant General for New Jersey—the chief administrative officer for the 8,400 personnel in the New Jersey National Guard.
